I wrote the Chorus for this song around the same time we brought Hutch home from the hospital. It was a really hard time because we were busy planning a tour and were having to get up several times a night. So this came out of one of those times when it's really too much to take all in one day and you want to just give up. It's about the stuff of life and about messing up. I co-wrote it with Brian, who brought a completely different angle to this piece, so it was great to have his thumbprint on it. --Jeromy
This isn't in any book Where was this when I signed up? I think I want my money back I thought I'd take a look Then all of a sudden I jumped in Without ever lookin' back
Life threw me a curve And I was blind-sided I didn't know I didn't know
It's all part of the walk All part of this thing we call Life and living It's all part of the walk All part of this thing we call The way of giving Up our lives to eventually find that You're in control It's all part of the walk
Somewhere I forgot Life has little twists and turns You never see what's comin' up I thought I was cool and I'm not Now there is no easy way out I guess I need to toughen up
I picked myself up Wiped the dust off And I live and learn I live and learn
I finally got in the game But got thrown out a second base Oh well at least I tried I can't dwell upon these things What's done is done, it can't be changed I'll do my best next time
Life threw me a curve And I was blind-sided I didn't know I didn't know
